The Dark Knight
I watched The Dark Knight yesterday! I was nearly asleep while waiting for the show to begin but the action and everything was FWOAH. And there's a twist to the whole story but I'm not going to type the plot! >:D I think Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) is the Coolest Man alive! Since it's a movie, it IS possible for that one rich person to have such fabulous gadgets :D Heath Ledger played Joker really well. Scared me out of my seat as well, with his constant lip smacking and glistening knives and "Let's put a smile on your face!" and "Why, so, serious?", wah seriously it's freaking sadistic and gruesome.
Wonder how I was watching the 1989 Batman just before going for The Dark Knight and thought it was scary. I'm glad they found more muscular Batmans and Rachels (but Katie Holmes was still better) over the years. And more realistic and threatening Jokers.
Compare these:
Batman, 1989 (Jack Nicholson)
The Dark Knight, 2008 (Heath Ledger)
Like my father mentioned, the 1989 Joker does look a little comical compared to Heath Ledger's portrayal.
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
